Louis, yes I was vaccinated many years ago, but still had to take precautions. Thank you Glen. |

Wow, indeed. Have never heard of the TB treatment; thanks for sharing the information with us. It certainly does put a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of the caregiver. I was exposed to TB about 15 years ago and had to get tested regularly for quite awhile before the doctor gave me the free-and-clear. It's nothing to mess with, that's for sure. My best to you and your dad! Hope the treatment works out well.

It has been very effective, and they are both post 10 years. Both have had reoccurrences, and both eventually have had bladder resections, in any case the Tuberculin treatments slowed and prevented the spread of the cancer where it remained within the bladder walls.
Funny thing, the demographics for a bladder cancer patient is a >50 overweight male who smokes. Both of these friends are 50ish non-smoking trim females. This post was last edited 09/15/2017 at 12:58 |

As a caregiver for an incontinent stroke survivor, I can relate to the additional workload this treatment requires. I can burn out on laundering as it is, and although I have a FL machine with a "sanitary" cycle, tying up the machine for such a long period each day would be a real PITA on top of what I already deal with. As it is, during line drying season I expedite the process by simultaneously using the Maytag 712 for items that can get by without a high speed spin while the FL is handling items that benefit from 1,100 rpm.
Best wishes for a successful treatment and more carefree laundry days ahead. I know what you're going through. |

Perhaps this will be of help in choosing cleaners. There are several Lysol products listed as tuberculoidal disinfectants. The EPA registration numbers are listed. CLICK HERE TO GO TO CircleW's LINK |

Bleach is still probably your least expensive and most effective option. Mix a solution of 1:10 (1 cup bleach to 10 cups water) and put it in a spray bottle. Wet everything of concern with the solution, and let it sit for 10 minutes. The surfaces need to stay wet during that time. After 10 minutes, you can rinse the bleach off (if necessary) and let the surface dry.
I'm a Registered Nurse who has spent the last 20 years working in Operating Rooms. This is the basic solution that we use to clean up blood spills and other bodily fluids. If mixed as directed, it is effective and safe. Just remember that you have to mix fresh solution every 24 hours, as bleach deactivates over time once mixed with other products. If you want something pre-mixed and more convenient, I would recommend Clorox's professional line of products. They have both bleach-based and hydrogen peroxide based cleaners, both of which are effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and most other common pathogens, when used as directed. They come in different formats (sprays, liquids, and pre-saturated disposable cloths). Should be something there to meet your needs. You can order most of them off of Amazon or some on-line janitorial supply companies sell them as well. Here's a link to the Clorox Professional web page: CLICK HERE TO GO TO friscosudz's LINK |
